Beta 1:

- blitter linedraw onedot mode was partially broken in non-ce modes (2.0)
- old off-by-one sprite error fixed, was recently triggered in 2.0 final causing (usually) random display interference (2.0)
- avioutput "capture before filtering" option (*)
- screenshot "before filtering" option (*)
- manual avioutput fps selection removed, automatic now
- tar archive support (was supposed to be in 2.0)
- recursive archive engine improvements and fixes
- only accept unrar.dll version 4 or newer

*) Filtering options currently totally ignored. Always uses internal full size.

It seems the black screen syndrome for WHD games came back in this version...
Leander hangs 1/3.
No probs with old 'Public beta 0 2009.12.15'.

Hmm.. Only differences are archive changes and screen capture updates..

Attach statefile without z3 ram enabled please. (you really sure configuration is same, perhaps previous alphas corrupted your config or something..)

@Hexaae : Please post your config

My mistake, friends... I'm sorry. Today I re-created my custom config and WHD games (always) load fine again with 2.0.1b1.

EDIT:
Testing the new video-capture feature (PCM 48KHz, 16bit, st + Xvid MPEG 4 + Disable frame rate limit, Capture before filtering, Disable sound sync)...
Is it normal emulation becomes incredibly slow (even Windows mouse moves in slow-motion) forcing Vista to warn me about an heavy performance problem found asking to switch to non-Aero emergency config?

I am quite sure this has absolutely nothing to do with 2.0.1.. Try searching. This is common problem of doing it wrong

I'll open a new thread non 2.0.1-specific (Doing wrong what?)

- Avi recording on 320x256 (windowed/lores/normal) with 'null filter' enabled and 'Capture before filtering' disabled results in corrupt capture (works properly in v2.0 final).


Independent recording resolution ('Capture before filtering') works properly (376x286 -> Avi. Double sized output (Null Filter 2x/2x) -> Screen). Very nice feature.

Beta 2: (no showstoppers = 2.0.1)

- if rom load fails, try to find matching rom file using rom scanner data by comparing file names without paths
- improved file/directory name Amiga<>Windows conversion
- hide directory filesystem file/directory names if they have characters that do not exist in Amiga charset (again, was accidentally changed in 1.6.0), they would have been inaccessible anyway
- non-tablet mouse driver mode was not enabled without magic mouse
- fixed potential crash in mouse driver mode
- "capture before filtering" not enabled mode was broken (b1)
- DIWSTRT hpos <=1: DIW state machine does not change (stop hpos > max was emulated long long time ago)

Confirmed. Bug fixed.

I'm having problems with this demo by Majic 12 called "Ray of Hope 2"

I get black screens and flashing colors for some of the scenes, including the intro image. Disabling CE does nothing, increasing memory does nothing, and I also tried ECS plus every single disks available online, but still no go. Works correctly with the latest stable release and my stock A500.

The savestate was recorded using the dms from ADA.

Thanks, DIWSTRT behavior seems to have one unknown variable left.. Update will be reverted if I don't have time to find the problem today..

Majic 12 called "Ray of Hope 2

Surprisingly both behaviors are correct

OCS Denise: visible, ECS Denise: first 4 screens are blank.

I forgot I have ECS Denise in my test A500, I finally noticed the difference when I tested using my A1000, suddenly this demo worked differently

More information will be posted in undocumented features thread.

EDIT: I meant only bug was not to configure "fix" only when ECS Denise/AGA was enabled.

Beta 3: (RC1. Nobody complains today = out and done)

- emulate OCS Denise "bug", vertical DIW already active, matches again with horizontal start DIW=0 or 1 -> DIW stays inactive until next frame. (Kefrens Megademo 8, Snake Bite part)
- emulate ECS Denise (and AGA) "bug fix", horizontal start DIW=0 or 1 gets ignored. (=b2 fix -> ECS Denise/AGA only)
- sometimes sprite was visible even if bitplane DMA should have disabled it (older bug)
- ECS Denise DENISEID register returned 0x00FC, correct is 0xFFFC
